It will be observed that when the cap 1 is in place there is a s ace between the junction of the cap and tl ie barrel 3 which will permit the ready'absorption of an oozing drop of ink.

When the blotting-paper tube has been stained or worn it ma be renewed and a new one substituted, t e chea ness of the article enabling frequent rep acements of the old and soiled bl'otters.

I claim,- 1

The combination with a fountain-pen, of a tube of blotting-paper having reduced walls at each end to form a receptacle to receive a ca and also to absorb any ink which may .leak from the holder or accidentally escape from the pen.
